14 Chapter Thirteen (2/2)

There was a chance they could return to their original form in the future, so if she were to use them as bronze coins now, it would be a waste.

Looks like the only thing she could do was to find some way to earn money.

Meanwhile, the six guards were sitting on the tree with their eyes closed and backs turned. They were originally sent to confirm whether Yu You Lei had truly died, but now their role was to protect her.

”What do you think the future Mistress is doing?” One of the guards whispered, eyes closed as he listened to the clanking of coins coming from Yu You Lei's room.

”Eh, so you think there's a chance she will become the Mistress in the future?” Another guard asked, almost opening his eyes when he did so. He personally felt that she would become a concubine at most, with her talent and all.

”She seems to have changed, though? So, maybe there's a chance?” The same guard said, thinking back to her behavior earlier.

”Shut your mouths!” The seemingly most mature guard whispered, successfully causing all of them to clamp a hand over their mouths. This was Bai Wu, the one with the most power among all the six guards sent.

Their names were given according to their power. Each of their names started with Bai, and the second character would be their ranking[1]. Bai Yi to Bai Si were all guarding Li Juan Tian, while Bai Wu to Bai Shi were with Yu You Lei.

”Let's stop talking about her, okay? Anyways, yesterday, I heard that Master. . .” He then surprised everyone by joining in the gossiping. These stotic guards then began to whisper and gossip like a few woman.

A few minutes of exchanging news later, the earlier silence returned, and they sat motionlessly on the branches.

”Hey, strange shadow guard people, where are you?” Yu You Lei poked her head out her window and shouted this, staring at the sillohoutes of the six guards.

Following her call, they all leaped into her room without any hesitation or consideration for her privacy.

Yu You Lei cast them an uninterested glace after they landed, and then asked in a nonchalant tone, ”Do you have money?”

[1] So the first character is Bai, and following that is their rank. Like this:

Bai Yi

Bai Er

Bai San

Bai Si

Bai Wu

Bai Liu

Bai Qi

Bai Ba

Bai Jiu

Bai Shi

After this, there are no more rankings according to names. They will just be known as guards.
